Chapter 1771: Chapter 1655: Leaving? Opportunity?

The Haoyang Divine Sovereign stood high above, deciding the life and death of everyone present.

Although everyone harbored a trace of resentment towards him, they nonetheless rationally refrained from countering.

It is known that years ago, before entering the death arena, a Venerable Sage merely wanted to withdraw, and ended up being annihilated by him with thunderous might.

Now, those who survived are the elite of the elite, super elite among the strong. Everyone’s mental control is exceptionally powerful.

Everyone understands well: it’s best not to anger this fellow before leaving the Haoyang Divine Palace. Even if this guy is just a lingering soul, it won’t do. After all, here, he is the one and only supreme God.

“No one’s speaking?” The Haoyang Divine Sovereign cast a sharp glance downward, nodding: “Good! Very good! It seems your dispositions have improved greatly after nearly ten thousand years of battles in the death arena. This is something that pleases me. However…”

At this point, he abruptly paused, revealing a bizarre smile, and said: “However, even if you’ve completed the first three stages of the challenge, not everyone can leave. The top 100 of the Venerable Sage level death arena may leave, and the top 300 of the Sage level death arena may leave. As for the others wanting to leave, it’s possible if I take some things from you—”

Upon hearing this, among the remaining thousand-plus people in the square, many faces changed drastically.

They suddenly realized that ending the third stage early wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

If the timeframe was extended a bit, perhaps those ranked higher might suffer many deaths or falls. In that scenario, many might still have a chance to leave, and even leave unharmed.

Thinking of this, many immediately hated Lv Zhong.

Only they didn’t consider that even if Lv Zhong hadn’t slain a fifth-rank divine beast early, they may not have had a safe chance to leave Haoyang Divine Palace. On the contrary, their chances of falling would be greater, as their rankings were at the bottom, with more likelihood to fall.

Yet these people wouldn’t consider this, after all, a prolonged timeframe means they have still some chance. But now with an early end, the score rankings are fixed, indicating they have no chance at all.

At this time, they won’t consider if the death arena didn’t end early, they have a much greater possibility of death or falling, a true annihilation of the God form. Now, even if Haoyang Divine Sovereign takes some things away, their lives are still intact.

Lv Zhong remained calm, truthfully, he didn’t care whether others resented him. If these dared to offend him because of this, Lv Zhong wouldn’t mind starting a massacre.

At this moment, Lv Zhong always harbored some doubts; he wasn’t as afraid as others towards Haoyang Divine Sovereign.

It is known, when he obtained the inheritance memory from the Abstract Temporal Worm God King, Lv Zhong had witnessed stronger Divine Sovereigns, and even witnessed Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s death.

Facing Haoyang Divine Sovereign above the void, viewing all as ants, Lv Zhong suddenly flew out from the crowd, standing loftily in the sky, asking Haoyang Divine Sovereign:

“Divine Sovereign, you said annihilating a fifth-rank divine beast would prematurely end the death arena stage. By this determination, you should remember incorrectly. It seemed before annihilating the Sky-Piercing Mountain-Crossing Divine Beast, I already annihilated an Earth Bear Emperor. That bear isn’t weaker than the mid-ranking fifth-grade Sky-Piercing Mountain-Crossing Divine Beast. Additionally, although its realm fell due to your seal, it was once a true Emperor God level powerhouse. Why didn’t slaying it end this death arena stage prematurely?”

“This guy, really… really is an inexperienced calf fearless of tigers. He actually dared to meet Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s gaze?”

“Oh my, Lv Kuangshen proves to be Lv Kuangshen, indeed awesome…”

“A born foolhardy guy, this daredevil can actually annihilate a fifth-rank divine beast? Really… truly unfair heavens…”

“Daring to fly to the sky and meet Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s gaze? Does he truly think just by slaying a fifth-rank divine beast, he can stand equal with Haoyang Divine Sovereign?”

“Mad! Indeed a madman! Actually dared to question Haoyang Divine Sovereign? Oh heavens, I hope Haoyang Divine Sovereign won’t vent his wrath on us because of Lv Zhong’s arrogance…”

“Damn, I didn’t stop this guy. Truly a restless fellow…”

Lv Zhong’s sudden action left countless strong individuals on the square shaken to their core.

Some worshipped, some gloated, some worried, and some wished Haoyang Divine Sovereign would immediately annihilate Lv Zhong.

Yet Lv Zhong still remained proudly standing in the void, not cowering because of his lesser strength.

Nor did he allow pride to soar due to his impressive achievements.

He was calm, confident, self-reliant, neither flattering nor provoking the other. Even when asking questions, he maintained poised without subservience.

“This young one shows courage. I thought you wouldn’t speak out.” Haoyang Divine Sovereign looked at Lv Zhong weirdly, with a complex gaze.

Lv Zhong faintly smiled: “My courage has never been too strong, however, sometimes I love digging to the roots of matters. Thus, I ask the Divine Sovereign to illuminate my confusion.”

Haoyang Divine Sovereign deeply gazed at Lv Zhong, saying: “Firstly, the Earth Bear Emperor originally didn’t belong to the divine beasts of the death arena. Secondly, and most crucially, although it was once an emperor god, when the Earth Bear Sovereign’s descendant summoned it to the Flaming Sky Domain with the Divine Demon Sacrifice, its realm indeed didn’t reach the fifth-rank divine beast level. Its combat power was indeed strong, perhaps stronger than the Sky-Piercing Mountain-Crossing Divine Beast by a margin. But combat power, after all, is not realm. So slaying the Earth Bear Emperor was indeed futile. Haha…”

“Damn—” Lv Zhong was truly speechless.

Seeing Lv Zhong’s face full of issues, no words left to say, Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s face flicked a sliver of a smile. After a while, he said: “Alright, now those ranked after 100 in the Venerable Sage level death arena and those ranked after 300 in the Sage level death arena can choose to leave. Of course, I’ll selectively have each of you pay a certain price. Regarding those within my determined range, await my rewards and opportunities…”

Upon hearing this, those ranking lower, every face changed drastically, full of gloom and worry.

Though certain they could leave, heaven knows what Haoyang Divine Sovereign would take away from them.

The unknown situation is undoubtedly the most fearsome.

At the same time, those in the top 100 of the Venerable Sage level death arena and the top 300 of the Sage level death arena felt slightly reassured.

At least they have the chance to leave safely, and even have the opportunity to receive more rewards and opportunities.

At that moment, the entire square showed varied expressions.

On one side fear, on the other uncontrolled excitement. (To be continued. If you work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation votes, monthly votes at Starting Point (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
